Is it possible to create custom Pokemon that I can battle with on Pokemon showdown? Or can I change the base stats of Pokemon on showdown?

How viable are weather teams in OU nowadays? I haven't paid attention to the competitive scene in like a year or something, and I was really surprised to notice that Politoed was PU and not even using Drizzle in the one strategy dex moveset for it. Did I miss a Drizzle ban or something? Or did...

Why is Politoed PU? Is that even with Drizzle? I took a loooooong break (and it's not like I'm coming back really), and I'm curious as to why rain teams apparently aren't viable in OU anymore.

So basically an overhaul of the system turning out like this would create a really unbalanced, somewhat nonsensical metagame? The perfectionist in me cringes, but the realist in me understands XD

Will Smogon ever design its tiring system so that every tier is based off usage, instead of Uber just being what's too powerful for OU? Uber has so many Pokemon now, and the line between OU and Uber seems to get more arbitrary ever generation. What keeps Smogon from redesigning its tiring system...

Darn, I have to think for myself? I wanted someone to tell me what to think so I didn't have to! XD jk

In the previous version of Smogon's strategy Pokedex, when viewing a page about an item or move, there would be stuff about the competitive viability of said item or move. Now there isn't. Is there some place on Smogon that talks about the viability of items and moves? Or was that feature...

I know about CAP. The goal of the discussion wouldn't be to create a fakemon, but to use a hypothetical average mon to judge something objectively about Pokemon. I don't know if it should go in CAP or a more general section, but every forum seems so specific so that's why I'm asking :I Also...

Which forum would be the best place to post a thought experiment / discussion relating to competitive Pokemon but not about existing Pokemon (more in the realm of speculation, although it would more accurately be utilizing creative thinking)?

I read that thread Mudkipz posted, and I can totally understand why they are overcentralizing. A team would always need to be prepared for them.

What is the reasoning behind why drought and drizzle were disallowed from being used in UU?

Darn :[

Is there a list somewhere on Smogon that ranks all of the Mega-Evo's?

I read some Smogon stuff, and it said you were an Other Metagame Mentor. I want to try to submit ideas for OMs, but I don't think I know enough (especially about how to create a server) to submit one. Could you be my mentor or something?
